Hello everyone! Rocket-in-Bottle is excited to announce its first Android App, FeedSquares. Getting a daily dose from your feeds is a must for many Android users. If you are looking for a slick and beautiful feed reader on Android, FeedSquares is the way to go!

Apart from being a beauty, FeedSquares comes with a host of on-the-go reader functionalities:

Synchronize your subscriptions and items' read/star statuses

Lightweight listing of feed items with image previews

Full content view for feed items

Sharing to Google Reader and other platforms (e.g. Twitter and Facebook)

@StarkThanks for the suggestion! Yes there will be more ways to filter your feeds and items in coming versions.

@reechardAt the moment this is the only way to reliably access your Google Reader account. Google is planning to provide a login mechanism that does not require passwords (OAuth), but it is still experimental and does not provide all functionalities we need. Don't worry, we NEVER send your login info and other personal data to any server except Google's.

I use both the Chrome extension and the Android app. With the app, sometimes when I go to a feed or a story, the entire app seems to reset, reloads the feeds, and goes back to the main screen. Also, I think that if I go to a story and it does that, it marks the story as read.

@jmartin235Can you tell us the phone model and Android OS version you are running? For your description it may be caused by an out of memory error.

@C.S.KeatingIt seems Android Market is having some problem with the search function, if you search for the exact word "FeedSquares" it should show up. We are talking to Android Market administrators about this. Thanks for the report!

For some reason I cannot update my FeedSquares from the android market. It just says start downloading but noting is downloaded. I have tried to download several other apps, they work fine. I'm using HTC Desire and OS version is 2.2.

Hi, I love the visual style, but wondering if you are going to provide offline reading capability.I am now using newsrob as my default reader on android, but trying to fiind a replacement. FeedSquare is possible to be the one... but not yet. It's hard to surf between articles and feed.Still a good app. 5 stars if you could improve the usage .
